Warner must learn to behave: Clarke

LONDON: Australia captain Michael Clarke said that Warner must learn to behave if he is ever to realise his potential as a future skipper himself.

"I think David (Warner) knows how I feel about the culture of this Australian team and how important I feel the standards are in this Australian team," said Clarke.

"I respect the fact David has put his hand up and wants to move forward, has apologised to Joe and acknowledged he has made a big mistake. He does deserve credit for putting his hand up.

"Although the punishment for David is quite harsh that's the reality when you play for the Australian cricket team. This is not an IPL team, this is not state cricket, it's not county cricket, when you play for Australia there are standards you have to uphold."

Warner, who admitted he was lucky to still be involved on the tour, was dropped for Wednesday's no-result match against New Zealand, although he appeared as 12th man. (AFP)
